One way with the motorhome
Overview
Your long-awaited holiday with
a camper van is coming up.
You are planning a road trip in a rented campervan from Hamburg to Stockholm: almost 1000 kilometres through northern Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
And probably even more - after all, you want to enjoy the unique landscapes of Scandinavia along the way. So of course you won't stubbornly stay on the motorway to travel the distance as quickly as possible.
On the contrary. You will take long detours to see special places in the wild nature and visit small towns. Maybe locals there will give you tips for beautiful routes that you will follow, even if it costs you a whole day.
Because that's what makes a trip with a motorhome so appealing: You can explore the world and its nature at your own pace, independent of hotel bookings, check-in, check-out and breakfast times.
You go on a trip with a camper because it is simply an unbeatable feeling of freedom to be able to drive wherever you want every day. The anticipation of the holiday grows every day.
You have neither the time nor the desire to also complete the return journey to Hamburg in a camper van after the extensive trip.
You would much rather be able to simply park your rented camper in Stockholm and have someone else drive it back while you get on the plane and land in Hamburg an hour and a half later. You would also gladly pay a premium for this convenience.
A quick Google search reveals: Numerous companies and self-employed people specialise in transfers. They do nothing other than drive vehicles safely from A to B.
This would be the perfect opportunity to take advantage of this practical service!
So you approach your campervan rental company about it. But he is not enthusiastic about the plan. He knows that it is possible to have his motorhomes transferred by service providers. But he would rather not, and for good reasons.
Because for him, it means additional effort. He has to find a suitable provider. The transfer has to be coordinated. There may be unforeseeable delays. And what about the insurance?
Organising all of this takes time and can be nerve-wracking. It's understandable that your rental company doesn't want to take on the extra work.
However, you have already found the solution to these problems in your Google research. It can be summed up in one word: ONLOGIST. With over 9000 registered service providers, the online marketplace is Europe's largest platform for vehicle logistics.
You list the advantages:
ONLOGIST arranges over 400,000 transport orders every year. And they do it quickly: 80 percent of the orders are placed in less than 10 minutes. Everything is handled digitally, from order entry to order confirmation to invoicing.
It couldn't be faster or more convenient. And every single transfer is insured.
Your camper van rental company takes a thorough look at the whole thing. He comes to the same conclusion as you: this is just too good not to do. While you say goodbye, he starts to set up his profile on ONLOGIST.
And you? You go One Way to Stockholm.
